When Zhang Jiasui was squatting on the wheat field to bundle wheat straw, a harsh electric sound suddenly came from her hearing aid. She hurriedly took it off and put it on her lap, and the world suddenly fell back to the familiar silence. The wind swept over the towering waves of wheat, setting off layers of golden waves. She looked at the figure bending over and working in the distance, and her fingertips unconsciously rubbed the shell of the hearing aid - the small crack was broken when she helped Li Yanqiu repair the farm machinery last week.
Twenty-six-year-old Kasui is the most dedicated girl in the village who grows food. Others thought it was troublesome to sift wheat seeds, but she would pick them one by one under the sun, grinding her fingertips until they were red; the harvester could not enter the narrow field ridge, so she would hold the sickle and cut slowly, sweat dripping into the soil, and the ears of wheat that grew would be half fuller than others. Li Yanqiu is an agricultural machinery operator who came to the village last year. His legs are a little lame, but he polishes the old tractor to a shiny finish. When they first met, Kaho's hearing aid ran out of power. He gestured to her, "Don't panic," and squatted on the edge of the field to write a note: "I'll cut it for you, and you rest." The handwriting was crooked, but like pebbles thrown into a lake of his heart, it rippled in circles.
From now on, Li Yanqiu would always take a detour and pass by her wheat field. He would turn down the roar of the farm machinery in advance - knowing that she couldn't stand the sharp noise, he would fill her kettle with cold boiled water and twist the lid just enough to open it easily, and secretly stuff a roasted sweet potato into her bamboo basket, with the outside charred and honey flowing inside. Kaho couldn't understand what he said, but she could read the concern in his slow mouth and gentle eyes. She learned to respond in sign language, clumsily saying "thank you", and he smiled with his white teeth exposed and responded with a standard "you're welcome".
